    Recommended Fluid Velocity

    Uploaded by

    microco4
    This document provides recommended flow velocities, maximum allowable flows, and pressure drops for sizing steam piping and laterals in new plants. It lists flow rates in pounds per hour and maximum recommended velocities for various pipe sizes for laterals and mains operating at different pressures. Notes specify that 600 PSIG steam is superheated while 175 and 30 PSIG are saturated, and actual internal pipe diameters may require lower pressure drops. The document also lists general recommended maximum velocities for dry gas, wet gas, steam, air, vapor lines and liquid lines to consider for sizing piping for miscellaneous fluids.

    Note:
    (1) 600 PSlG steam is at 750%, 175PSlG and 30 PSlG are saturated.
    (2) On 600PSlG flow ratings, internal pipe sizes for larger nominal
    diameters were taken as follows: 18/16.5, 14/12.8, 12/11.6,
    10/9.75.
    (3) If other actual 1.D.pipe sizes are used, or if local superheat exists
    on 175PSlG or 30 PSlG systems, the allowable pressure drop shall
    be the governing design criterion.
